A Modified Genetic Algorithm For A Special Case Of The Generalized Assignment Problem, Murat Dörterler, Ömer Faruk Bay, Mehmet Ali̇ Akcayol

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Many central examinations are performed nationwide in Turkey. These examinations are held simultaneously throughout Turkey. Examinees attempt to arrive at the examination centers at the same time and they encounter problems such as traffic congestion, especially in metropolises. The state of mind that this situation puts them into negatively affects the achievement and future goals of the test takers. Our solution to minimize the negative effects of this issue is to assign the test takers to closest examination centers taking into account the capacities of examination halls nearby. This solution is a special case of the generalized assignment problem (GAP). …


An Efficient Ofdm-Based System With An Insufficient Cyclic Prefix Via A Novel Constellation Algorithm, Saeed Ghazi-Maghrebi Jan 2017

An Efficient Ofdm-Based System With An Insufficient Cyclic Prefix Via A Novel Constellation Algorithm, Saeed Ghazi-Maghrebi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new special triangular constellation scheme is introduced to replace the commonly used rectangular QAM constellation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. We have shown that this new scheme has 3 major advantages with respect to the well-known QAM. The first advantage is its lower error probability performance, which results from better usage of the constellation space with longer minimum distances. The 2 other advantages are a lower peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and higher noise immunity. Both mathematical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that by applying standard channels in 2 cases, i.e. channels with …


Neoteric Chaff Generation Method Of Fingerprint Fuzzy Vault, Nancy Singla, Sanjeev Sofat, Manvjeet Kaur Jan 2017

Neoteric Chaff Generation Method Of Fingerprint Fuzzy Vault, Nancy Singla, Sanjeev Sofat, Manvjeet Kaur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Authentication using biometrics has an edge over traditional authentication mechanisms. Fuzzy vault is an eminent biometric cryptosystem technique that aims to protect a secret using a biometric template. Authorized users can, however, access the secret by providing the valid biometric. In a fuzzy vault, noise is incorporated in the form of chaff points in order to increase the security. While implementing fuzzy vault schemes in real scenarios, the most critical but computing-intensive and time-consuming task is chaff generation. In this paper, a neoteric method for chaff generation is proposed, which is less time-consuming in generating large numbers of chaff points.

There are three identical 1-phase stator discs and four in-phase rotor discs in the proposed multistage AFPMG. In this research, 4 case studies were analyzed on the design of the multistage AFPMG. First, a phase shift model (PSM) positions the three 1-phase stator discs to behave as a 3-phase generator. Actually, the PSM computes phases for three …


A Power Sharing Control For Microgrids Based On Extrapolation Of Injecting Power And Power-Angle Control, Suchart Janjornmanit, Suttichai Premrudeepreechacharn Jan 2017

A Power Sharing Control For Microgrids Based On Extrapolation Of Injecting Power And Power-Angle Control, Suchart Janjornmanit, Suttichai Premrudeepreechacharn

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Droop controlled power sharing with an assumption that the value of line impedance is unavailable has been proven to have limitations; the power sharing is problematic in systems with significantly resistive lines. Furthermore, when the droop is applied in the islanding mode of operation of a microgrid, the system is likely to become unstable. In this paper, the droop control is replaced by an analytical solution. The proposed approach of power sharing is power-angle control of distributed generators (DGs), such as voltage source converters, a type of DG with extrapolation of power injected to the connected bus. It is demonstrated …

With increasing population, the determination of traffic density becomes critical in managing urban city roads for safer driving and low carbon emissions. In this study, kernel density estimation is utilized in order to estimate traffic density more accurately when the speeds of vehicles are available for a given region. For the proposed approach, as a first step, the probability density function of the speed data is modeled by kernel density estimation. Then the speed centers from the density function are modeled as clusters. The cumulative distribution function of the speed data is then determined by Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, whose complexity is …


Comparing Of Phase Shifting Method And One-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method For Reconstruction Using Phase-Only Information, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç Jan 2017

Comparing Of Phase Shifting Method And One-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method For Reconstruction Using Phase-Only Information, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method has some advantages in hologram reconstruction, when used in the only phase, compared with the phase shifting method. This paper aims to discuss these advantages. One advantage is related to image quality. Another advantage is less power spent and saving time, because the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method uses only one hologram and the phase shifting method uses four holograms for recording and reconstruction processes. One final advantage is that the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method can also be used in real-time applications. Within the context of the ongoing optimization studies, this study will …


Accelerating The Solving Of Nonlinear Equations Using The Homotopy Method: Application On Finding The Operating Point Of Complex Circuits, Fathi Dhiabi, Mohamed Boumehraz Jan 2017

Accelerating The Solving Of Nonlinear Equations Using The Homotopy Method: Application On Finding The Operating Point Of Complex Circuits, Fathi Dhiabi, Mohamed Boumehraz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Analog circuits with nonlinear elements (e.g., diode, BJT, and CMOS) and integrated circuits are very complex systems. As a result, they are very difficult to analyze because of the need to generate a nonlinear equation system solution in order to do so. Solving nonlinear equations is still a challenging problem. Iterative methods, however, are frequently used to solve them. This paper describes a method that can be used to both accelerate the solving of nonlinear equations and find the operating point in various integrated circuits by construction of the global homotopy equation of the analog circuit. This is done by …


High-Pass/Low-Pass Section Design For 0$^{\Circ}$-360$^{\Circ}$ Lumped-Element Phase Shifters Via The Real Frequency Technique, Meti̇n Şengül Jan 2017

High-Pass/Low-Pass Section Design For 0$^{\Circ}$-360$^{\Circ}$ Lumped-Element Phase Shifters Via The Real Frequency Technique, Meti̇n Şengül

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, an algorithm based on the real frequency technique (RFT) is proposed to design high-pass and low-pass sections of a 0$^{\circ}$-360$^{\circ}$ wide range lumped-element phase shifter. The switching process, however, is not considered in this work. In the algorithm, it is enough to define the section type (high-pass or low-pass) and the number of elements in the sections; there is no need to select the exact circuit topologies for the high-pass and low-pass sections. This is a natural consequence of the proposed approach. Unlike in the methods described in the literature, there is also no need to derive …


Time-Time Matrix Z-Score Vector-Based Fault Analysis Method For Series-Compensated Transmission Lines, Oveis Asgari Gashteroodkhani, Behrooz Vahidi, Aydin Zaboli Jan 2017

Time-Time Matrix Z-Score Vector-Based Fault Analysis Method For Series-Compensated Transmission Lines, Oveis Asgari Gashteroodkhani, Behrooz Vahidi, Aydin Zaboli

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a novel protection method based on time-time (TT) transform for thyristor-controlled series-compensated lines is presented. First, current signals at both sides of the sending and receiving ends are retrieved and processed through time-time domain transform (TT-transform), and a TT-matrix is produced. A proposed index is then compared with a defined threshold (THD) in order to determine fault occurrence and faulted phases. Within less than three cycles of the fault inception, a tripping signal can be sent that is acceptable for the speed of digital relays. After faulted phase selection, considering the TT-matrix of the faulted phases of …


Case Study On Wavelet Choice Based On Statistical Image Quality Measures, Igor Vujovic, Ivica Kuzmanic Jan 2017

Case Study On Wavelet Choice Based On Statistical Image Quality Measures, Igor Vujovic, Ivica Kuzmanic

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Surveillance applications are under many negative influences, which should be suppressed, because these negative influences result in incorrectness of the motion mask. Suppression of several conflicting requirements can be optimized by a multiobjective approach. This paper proposes a multiobjective approach to selection of wavelets based on two main objectives: statistical image quality measures and execution time. Execution time is a measure of wavelets complexity. Segmentation is the final goal in order to insure precise operation of any surveillance algorithm. This paper presents a case study considering one, two, three, and four goals for wavelet selection comparison. Different wavelets are found …


Temporal Preconditioners For Marching-On-In-Time-Based Time Domain Integral Equation Solvers, Hüseyi̇n Arda Ülkü Jan 2017

Temporal Preconditioners For Marching-On-In-Time-Based Time Domain Integral Equation Solvers, Hüseyi̇n Arda Ülkü

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Temporal preconditioners to stabilize the marching-on-in-time (MOT)-based time domain integral equation (TDIE) solvers are proposed. Exponentially decaying functions are used as temporal preconditioners and the proposed scheme is applied to analyze scattering from perfect electrically conducting objects using the second-order formulation. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated via numerical examples. It is shown that the temporal preconditioners stabilize the MOT system and the solution. In addition, the initial condition problem of TDIEs is investigated by extending the second-order formulation of the time domain electric field integral equation to the time domain magnetic and combined field integral equations.


A New Sequential Power Flow Algorithm For Ac/Dc Systems Including Independent Multiterminal Dc Subsystems, Faruk Yalçin, Uğur Ari̇foğlu Jan 2017

A New Sequential Power Flow Algorithm For Ac/Dc Systems Including Independent Multiterminal Dc Subsystems, Faruk Yalçin, Uğur Ari̇foğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a new algorithm based on the sequential method for power flow calculation in multiterminal AC/DC systems. The proposed approach differs from other similar studies in the literature by handling two main properties. Firstly, a real equivalent circuit model is considered for the under-load tap changer transformers (ULTCs) of DC converters for the first time in the literature. Hence, new DC equations are obtained. Thus, exact and accurate results can be obtained for practical applications using the proposed algorithm. Tap values adjustment effects of the ULTCs connected to DC converters are included into the Jacobian matrix instead of …


High-Voltage Isolated Multioutput Power Supply For Multilevel Converters, Amir Sepehr, Mehdi Saradarzadeh, Shahrokh Farhangi Jan 2017

High-Voltage Isolated Multioutput Power Supply For Multilevel Converters, Amir Sepehr, Mehdi Saradarzadeh, Shahrokh Farhangi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multilevel converters are one of the major choices for realizing high electric power conversion. The major feature of multilevel converter topologies is the need for a large number of switches, each of which requires a gate driver circuit and an isolated DC power supply. In this paper, a pragmatic concept of design and implementation of an isolated DC-to-DC converter for a high-voltage isolated application is introduced. More specifically, a multiple isolated output power supply based on the benefits of resonant converters is designed to prepare 36 double DC voltages for driving power semiconductor devices in a three-phase, seven-level cascaded H-bridge …


Using The Variable Width In A Planar Inductor On Kapton For Optimizing Its Performance, Hayet Kharbouch, Azzedine Hamid, Thierry Lebey, Vincent Bley, Leon Havez, Celine Combette Jan 2017

Using The Variable Width In A Planar Inductor On Kapton For Optimizing Its Performance, Hayet Kharbouch, Azzedine Hamid, Thierry Lebey, Vincent Bley, Leon Havez, Celine Combette

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we examine the design of planar inductors and consider an expansion of the conductor to reduce its resistance. An increase in the number of turns increases the proximity effect, capacitive coupling, and skin effect. The resulting effect will translate into an increase in the area occupied by the inductor and a decrease in the inductors' performances. In order to solve such difficulties, an alternative approach is to design tapered inductors. For the same electrical and geometrical characteristics, a tapered inductor occupies a larger area than a standard inductor. Our approach consists of designing a new concept regarding …


Discrete Design Optimization Of Distribution Transformers With Guaranteed Optimum Convergence Using The Cuckoo Search Algorithm, Levent Alhan, Nejat Yumuşak Jan 2017

Discrete Design Optimization Of Distribution Transformers With Guaranteed Optimum Convergence Using The Cuckoo Search Algorithm, Levent Alhan, Nejat Yumuşak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Transformer design optimization methods presented in the literature rarely yield solutions directly applicable in production; the design engineer usually needs to convert the theoretical solution to a practical one. This problem is addressed in this paper, and a discrete transformer design optimization method is proposed that yields solutions with commercially available or productionally feasible dimensions, thus eliminating the need for further efforts of the design engineer to make the theoretical solution a feasible one. The cuckoo search, a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm, is used as the optimization algorithm in this study, and it is shown that the guaranteed global optimum solution …

Many segmentation approaches have been proposed for breast segmentation, such as active contours and snakes, circular Hough transforms, and live wires, but these methods often fail to achieve satisfactory results. With recent advances in image processing techniques, new segmentation concepts are being developed, such as random walkers, which have received high interest from the medical imaging community. In this study, 91 images acquired utilizing a FLIR A320 thermal camera are …


Naive Forecasting Of Household Natural Gas Consumption With Sliding Window Approach, Mustafa Akpinar, Nejat Yumuşak Jan 2017

Naive Forecasting Of Household Natural Gas Consumption With Sliding Window Approach, Mustafa Akpinar, Nejat Yumuşak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Household consumption has a significant importance for natural gas wholesale companies. These companies make one-day-ahead forecasting daily. However, there are penalties depending on the error of the estimates. These penalties increase exponentially depending on the error rate. Several studies have been done to develop mathematical models to forecast natural gas consumption and minimize the error rate. However, before mathematical model predictions, a previous step, data preparation, is also important. The data must be prepared correctly before the mathematical model. At this point, prior to the mathematical model, selecting the appropriate data set size has a vital role. In this study, …


A Game-Theoretic Framework For Active Distribution Network Planning To Benefit Different Participants Under The Electricity Market, Bo Zeng, Jinyue Shi, Junqiang Wen, Jianhua Zhang Jan 2017

A Game-Theoretic Framework For Active Distribution Network Planning To Benefit Different Participants Under The Electricity Market, Bo Zeng, Jinyue Shi, Junqiang Wen, Jianhua Zhang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

With the deregulation of the power sector, distribution system planning is transforming from the traditional integrated decision mode to the multiple-player-based decentralized paradigm. However, this could potentially cause an adverse impact on the performance of the system due to interest conflict of market players during operations. To address such an issue, this paper develops a game-theoretic framework for active distribution network planning under the electricity market. The interplay between the distribution utility (DISCO) and distributed generation investors (DGO) is formulated as a noncooperative, two-person-based Stackelberg game in which the DISCO, as the leader of the game, makes expansion of the …


Unknown Input Observer Based On Lmi For Robust Generation Residuals, Souad Tahraoui, Abdelmadjid Meghabbar, Djamila Boubekeur Jan 2017

Unknown Input Observer Based On Lmi For Robust Generation Residuals, Souad Tahraoui, Abdelmadjid Meghabbar, Djamila Boubekeur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a method of generating robust residuals of a linear system, subject to unknown inputs, is proposed. The impact of disturbances and uncertainty may create difficulties at the decision stage of diagnosis (false alarm); this has resulted in the use of a robust observer for the unknown inputs to ensure the robustness of the system based on the unknown input observer with an optimal decoupling approach, which has a sensitivity that is minimal to unknown inputs and maximal to faults. A generation of robust residuals is then transformed into a problem of robustness/sensitivity constraints (H$_{\infty }$, H and …


Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Three-Phase Active Power Filter Based On Feedback Linearization, Shixi Hou, Juntao Fei Jan 2017

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Three-Phase Active Power Filter Based On Feedback Linearization, Shixi Hou, Juntao Fei

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy control system using feedback linearization is proposed for a three-phase active power filter (APF). The APF system is divided into two separate loops: the current dynamic inner loop and the DC voltage dynamic outer loop. Adaptive fuzzy tracking control using feedback linearization is employed for the current dynamic inner loop to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional method. The proposed controller can ensure proper tracking of the reference current and impose desired dynamic behavior, giving robustness and insensitivity to parameter variations. Adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral control is applied to the DC voltage dynamics outer …


A Multifunctional Dstatcom For Power Quality Improvement, Mohammad Mahdianpoor, Arash Kiyoumarsi, Mohammad Ataei, Rahmat Allah Hooshmand, Houshang Karimi Jan 2017

A Multifunctional Dstatcom For Power Quality Improvement, Mohammad Mahdianpoor, Arash Kiyoumarsi, Mohammad Ataei, Rahmat Allah Hooshmand, Houshang Karimi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used for various purposes such as load balancing, harmonic rejection, and power factor correction (PFC) in power distribution networks. In unbalanced and polluted power systems, the classic definition of power factor cannot be used for PFC due to the existence of harmonics and negative sequence components in voltage and current waveforms. In this paper, PFC is performed using the IEEE power factor definition for harmonic and unbalanced environments. Moreover, the application of a proportional-resonant (PR) controller is proposed as an effective controller in the stationary frame for DSTATCOM performance improvement. The PR controller is …


Neville Interpolation-Based Normal Estimation, Buse Meli̇s Özyildirim, Ulus Çevi̇k Jan 2017

Neville Interpolation-Based Normal Estimation, Buse Meli̇s Özyildirim, Ulus Çevi̇k

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Displaying useful and meaningful information from 3D data is known as volume rendering. Ray casting is one of the most frequently used direct volume rendering methods. It consists of data preparation, sampling, classification, compositing, and shading steps. Normal values are needed for efficient shading. However, 3D volumetric data are discrete and cannot be used directly for shading. Hence, the estimation of normal values, at each voxel on the surface, is needed for realistic shading. In normal estimation, the use of small voxel neighborhoods results in the staircase effect. On the other hand, the use of larger voxel neighborhoods causes loss …

It takes channel quality, average throughput, and packet delay into account when determining the priority of each user. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm in optimizing real-time multimedia performance for more mobile cellular users.


Application Of Singular Value Decomposition Algorithm For Implementing Power Amplifier Linearizer, Rajbir Kaur, Manjeet Singh Patterh Jan 2017

Application Of Singular Value Decomposition Algorithm For Implementing Power Amplifier Linearizer, Rajbir Kaur, Manjeet Singh Patterh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A power amplifier (PA) is an integral component of all base stations in wireless communication systems and is used for converting DC power supply into radio frequency output power, but PAs are highly nonlinear. To achieve high power conversion efficiency, the PA is operated near saturation, which causes intermodulation products and hence results in nonlinear distortion. Digital predistortion (DPD) is a technique used to compensate for the nonlinear distortion without compromising its efficiency. Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) systems use a carrier aggregation scheme to combine separate available bandwidths to deliver high data speeds. In this paper the …

Minimizing Scheduling Overhead In Lre-Tl Real-Time Multiprocessor Scheduling Algorithm, Hitham Seddig Alhassan Alhussian, Mohamed Nordin Bin Zakaria, Fawnizu Azmadi Bin Hussin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we present a modification of the local remaining execution-time and local time domain (LRE-TL) real-time multiprocessor scheduling algorithm, aimed at reducing the scheduling overhead in terms of task migrations. LRE-TL achieves optimality by employing the fairness rule at the end of each time slice in a fluid schedule model. LRE-TL makes scheduling decisions using two scheduling events. The bottom (B) event, which occurs when a task consumes its local utilization, has to be preempted in order to resume the execution of another task, if any, or to idle the processor if none exist. The critical (C) event …


Sotarm: Size Of Transaction-Based Association Rule Mining Algorithm, Asha Pandian, Jebarajan Thaveethu Jan 2017

Sotarm: Size Of Transaction-Based Association Rule Mining Algorithm, Asha Pandian, Jebarajan Thaveethu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Mining of association rules tries to identify the existence of promising and fruitful relations among the items present in a database. The basic a priori algorithm suffers from multiple database scans, and if the database is large, then the time taken for scanning and generation of candidates is also large. The proposed algorithm attempts to reduce the repeated scanning of the whole database. Using this algorithm, scanning time and also the generation of subitems that are not frequent can be reduced. The former can be done by sorting the transaction records in descending order based on the size of transaction …
